    Your last sentence is exactly what I am talking about. Glad someone else saw it.

    I cant remember if he was only getting caught tonight while in the southpaw stance? But if thats the case, its honestly possible that had he not turned southpaw tonight maybe he doesnt get dropped, or wobbled (like he did later in the fight) and he possibly wins the fight.

    a rematch will be interesting. I wont be betting on it though.

    I could definitely see that. He was doing good work in there.

    The lack of the left hook to the body was glaring tonight. That's one of the best body shots in boxing, and he just didn't throw it.

    See Kirk I have no issue with you, but you clearly tried to take shots at me in your thread which is why I posted that crying emoji. I remember we went at it once, and I'm guessing you're still butthurt over that or have some issue with me. Instead of having this condescending superior attitude, maybe you should try and have a normal dialogue with people you don't see eye to eye with instead of saying **** like "let me break it down barney style for you", or taking shots at people.

    Feet still not completely gone, but it's getting harder and harder for him to get to his angle, his range, his spot. Golovkin used to nullify any leverage or opening for his opponent.

    Theres no way Richards. It wasnt just a distance fight, it was a close fight. Its not like G said to himself ok Im going to dominate Jacobs but Ill let him off the hook if he seems hurt because I want to go 12 (for example, Roy Jones in his prime probably carried a fighter or two, but he was dominating them along the way)

    He legitimately could have lost tonight. Theres actually plenty of people that did have him lose, and hes trying to build his brand on ppv, and he puts on this performance? hurts his brand by design? Just to go 12 rounds? I just dont see it.

    Watching it live I thought jacobs looked fantastic! He Controlled the distance, landed some good body shots, moved around well and most importantly he didn't let GGG trap him too much on the ropes while landing some crisp combinations while out working GGG in many rounds. Great performance from jacobs!

    It'll be interesting for sure, particularly as this was just a weird fight from GGG's side of things. I just mentioned it, but it's worth repeating, the left hook to the body was non-existent tonight whether Jacobs was orthodox or southpaw, and that's normally one of his hallmarks. Why Sanchez wasn't getting in his ear about that from the get go, I have no idea. I agree that he (and his team) had too much of a sparring partner mentality tonight.

    If Jacobs finds a way to neutralize that jab, he wins the fight tonight. And if that same GGG shows up in a rematch, Danny could win it if he gets that straightened out.

    that's true the way you put it but GGG is 35 now past his best fighters retire normally at this stage for him at this stage in his career to beat a young prime champion (Jacobs is the best mw other then GGG in my imo) says a lot about him 3 or 4 years ago Golovkin was a different fighter.

    The brook fight and now the Jacob fight shows GGG has declined a lot.

    GGG took a few body shots that seemed to limit his output

    Man kirk I when the Goons which is what that alt Richards is, says things like "it was by design" "GG let it be close because he needed to go 12 rounds"... That's some moronic **** to say.

    He hasn't declined at all. This was his first test, and Jacobs proved that GGG isn't as good as you fanatics make him out to be. Brook made the blueprint, and Jacobs delivered it tonight!

    I have normal dialogue with plenty of people on here that I disagree with. People that are good posters.


    I dont specifically recall, but pretty sure I havent talked to you, addressed you, quoted you, or barely (once or twice maybe) even been in a thread of yours in I dont know how long :lol:

    I did see a thread and plenty of posts regarding 'told you this was G's level' by plenty of people here and elsewhere, and so added that into my post that tonight wasnt about his level as much as ect, ect, ect. I did take the name of your thread, because... that was what the exact sentiment I was referring to, and by almost all the usual people. Which is fine, and I do think many of you are right. But I was adding that because I knew those were going to be the type of responses I was getting, but whats getting lost and what tonight was about for me, was his mentality.

    You then post a crying emoji :lol: And then are your usual passive aggressive in your next couple posts, which reinforces treating you the way I do.

    Yes, I posted the crying emoji since you referred to me as "the usual suspect". You know what you were trying to imply when you used that term. You used that term to try and put me down.

    Well for someone who has barely been in one of my threads, you sure acted like you knew a whole lot about me with this post.
    "go make another thread on the few major fights a year you call correct and think you know boxing"

    However you spin it, you were taking shots at me which is why I was passive aggressive. You want me to play nice while you're taking shots at me when I haven't even said anything to you :facepalm:.
